WARNING!!!

Clear line of sight between the Radio Frequency equipment is mandatory. This means that both antennas are visible to each other in order to achieve the distances advertised. If installed with floors or walls between the antennas distances will be significantly reduced.

Basic RF and Data installation rules MUST be adhered to:

- Common DC ground must be installed between all low voltage power supplies. Isolate this ground to ensure NO earth ground contact is made.

- Supplied DC voltage must be from a well-filtered, approved power supply. This power supply should meet all FCC and UL requirements.

- No metal shrouding should be place near or around the antenna or the antenna base. Such shrouding will diminish the antennas output and the advertised distances will be affected.

- Shielded wire with a drain wire should be used in all cases with the drain wire only being connected at the power supply end to earth ground.

- Wiring methods should be completed in a manner consistent with local electrical standards.

- DO NOT HOT SWAP CARD READERS. Remove power before disconnecting or attaching card readers.

1 General


The 900 PRIME is a wireless access control module which is designed as a 2-reader interface panel. It provides 2 Wiegand ports that are compatible with up to a 63 bit Wiegand signal.

Figure 1-1 900 PRIME Overview

The 900 PRIME is always connected to the host reader interface panel in the system. It is designed to be used with a 900-R that is connected to the card reader, door strike, request to exit etc. The system is capable of working either as a 1-to-1 system or 1-to-2 system (1 Host Reader Interface with either 1 or 2 900-R remote side Card Reader interfaces).

The 900 PRIME provides 6 analog outputs that can be customized by the Resistor Pack. The outputs are separated into two parts. The OUT1~OUT3 are triggered by 900-R/1 (first door unit); the OUT4~OUT6 are triggered by the 900-R/2 (second door unit). A Form-A relay output is dedicated as an offline alarm. There are 6 inputs. They are also separated as IN1~IN3 for the first 900-R (#0) and IN4~IN6 for the second (#1).

2 Indicators


The 900-PRIME provides indicators to display its status conveniently. These LED’s allow the user to monitor the status of the 900-PRIME.

2.1 Power LED (Green)

This LED indicates if the 900-PRIME unit has power. Lit LED lit indicates power. If the LED is not on, check the power source.

2.2 Relay Status

There are 7 LED’s to display the relay’s status. A lit LED lit indicates that the corresponding relay is triggered.

2.3 Field Strength Indicator (Receive Signal Strength Indicator)

These LED’s display the RECEIVE signal strength. From left to right, it indicates:

1 LED (Yellow) - Consider an antenna upgrade 2 LED’s (Yellow + 1 Green) - Satisfactory 3 LED’s (Yellow + 2 Green) - Satisfactory 4 LED’s (Yellow + 3 Green) - Excellent

2.4 Data Communication Indicator

These two LED’s should be flashing throughout operation.

RX (Green) – RF module receives the signal. TX (Yellow) – RF module transmits the signal.

2.5 MC LED

For factory use only.

2.6 Offline Indictor

These two LEDs indicate the 900-PRIME’s RF link status. The OFFLINE1 LED is dedicated to 900-R #0; the OFFLNE2 LED is dedicated to #1.

The LED is off when the module is in the normal state. An illuminated LED indicates that corresponding 900-R is offline.

• When the 900-PRIME is configured as a 1-to-2 system, a communication failure will

cause the offline relay to trigger and the inactive 900-R to illuminate.

• When 900-PRIME is configured as a 1-to-2 system, a communication failure will cause the offline to trigger and will also illuminate the corresponding offline LED.

Note: In the 1-to-1 system the unused Reader Device will always show as offline.

3 Power to the 900-PRIME


The module accepts 10-28Vdc for power only. Locate the power source as close to the module as possible. Make power connections with a minimum of 18AWG (Belden 9740 or equivalent) wire. When using separate power supplies for the 900 Prime and the Host interface be sure to run a common wire between the negative of the hosts DC power and the negative of the 900 Primes DC power supply.

4 900-PRIME Setting

4.1 RF Channel Setting

The 900-PRIME supports 10 different hopping schemes (CH0 ~ CH9), which MUST be set to the same number as the 900-R that communicates with this module. DIP switch SW1 is used for setting the channel.

SW1-S1 SW1-S2 SW1-S3 SW1-S4 CHANNEL

OFF OFF OFF OFF CH0 ON OFF OFF OFF CH1 OFF ON OFF OFF CH2 ON ON OFF OFF CH3 OFF OFF ON OFF CH4 ON OFF ON OFF CH5 OFF ON ON OFF CH6 ON ON ON OFF CH7 OFF OFF OFF ON CH8 ON OFF OFF ON CH9

4.2 RF VID Setting

Figure 4-1 900-PRIME RF Channel Setting

The RF module MUST be set to the VID number that matches the 900-R that it communicates with. This setting is done by S5 of DIP switch SW1.

4.3 RF Power Setting

Figure 4-2 900-PRIME RF VID Setting

To get an effective transmit range, 2 power levels (500mW or 1W) are selectable for the RF.

S8 of SW1 is for setting RF power level.

SW1-S8 Power Level OFF 500mW ON 1W

6 900-PRIME Reconfiguration

6.1 900-PRIME Reset

The jumper S1 (RESET) is used to hold the processor in reset mode. As this operation could cause all outputs to enter a non-normal state, it is highly recommended to disconnect all inputs and outputs before the 900-PRIME is reset.

S1 is a switchable jumper; it MUST be set to OPEN state for the 900-PRIME’s normal use.

Reset

Figure 6-1 900-PRIME Reset

6.2 Configuration and Reconfiguration of the System

After changing the setting on the DIP switches the radio requires reprogramming. This is done automatically through the RESET; however it is vital that the microprocessor completes its work prior to connecting inputs and outputs or modifications to the system. This can be visually observed when the MC LED changes from solid on to normal status (blink faster and weaker). Any interference during this operation could cause the radio to be programmed incorrectly which will result in the permanent failure and possible damage to the radio.

Any incorrect setting of Channel, Address or VID will be reported by the MC LED. It will be appeared as a ‘pulsed on’ flash.

900-PRIME Installation Manual Alertco RF / RFID

8 RF Communication Link

Because wireless technology is being used for the linkage, there are maximum limitations in which these devices can function. Many factors can contribute to the effectiveness of the communication. Refer to "Fresnel Zones" and "Faraday Cage" white papers.

8.1 Installation Location

For optimum installation, a 900 MHz Tester should be used to finalize location selection. The TK900F is a device that can test your linkage capabilities for the installation site. Please contact cramZ marketing for information on obtaining an TK900F tester kit.

8.2 Antenna Orientation

The 900-PRIME has been supplied with a swivel antenna for RF transmission. This is an omni-directional antenna. This type of antenna will allow the user to orientate the antenna to obtain the maximum desired transmission and reception of signal.

8.3 Signal Degradation

Many factors can contribute to signal degradation. The 900-PRIME can penetrate concrete in most situations. The thickness of the concrete and the number of layers will contribute to the degradation of the signal. For optimum signal strength, it is suggested that a minimum amount of obstruction be placed in the path of transmission between 900-PRIME and 900-R.

8.4 Minimum Separation Distance

In order to comply with RF Exposure requirements, the RF module must be installed and operated in such a way so as to maintain a minimum separation distance between the antennas during normal operation.
